Didn't do much for me.
My regular doc gave me a scrip for that while I was waiting for my surgery because I was bitching that the Vicodin was useless. It didn't do much, but apparently I was really a mess inside the spine. Glad it worked for you.

Probably a dosage issue
I have a bottle of gabapentin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabapentin) from the old days when I popped pain meds like candy.
The only reason they invented Lyrica was becuase the patent was running out and they needed their next brand name drug in the family for the diabetes patients (their extremities can be in agony). Of course, at that point, the Pfizer salepeople sold it to everyone for everything. 1 did nothing. Nothing at all. WFT the fuck was those stories about, people waking up in a ditch after driving home from work under it (my sister in law). So I did 2. I woke up 2 days later. Must have been a fluke. I do it again. And wake up 2 days later. No, I don't think I'll be doing this stuff again. Like I said, I have a bottle of it. |
